Configuring Texas Memory Systems RamSan Solid State Storage systems
Texas Memory Systems (TMS) RamSan® systems must be configured for attachment to a Storwize® V3500.
- TMS RamSan Solid State Storage supported models
Storwize V3500 clustered systems can be used with the RamSan Solid State Storage systems. - Supported TMS RamSan firmware levels
You must ensure that the RamSan firmware level can be used with the Storwize V3500 clustered system. - Concurrent maintenance on RamSan systems
Concurrent maintenance is the capability to complete I/O operations while you simultaneously complete maintenance operations on the RamSan system. - RamSan user interfaces
You can configure a RamSan system through a web GUI based on Java™ or a command-line interface (CLI). You can also complete some system-critical operations by using the front panel on the RamSan system. - Logical units and target ports on RamSan systems
Partitions on RamSan systems are exported as logical units (LUs) with a logical unit number (LUN) that is assigned to the partition. - Switch zoning for RamSan storage systems
Switch zoning configurations for the RamSan system include considerations for fabric zoning, target port sharing, host splitting, and controller splitting. - Configuration settings for RamSan systems
The RamSan GUI provides configuration settings and options that can be used with Storwize V3500 clustered systems. - Quorum disks on RamSan systems
The Storwize V3500 clustered system selects managed disks (MDisks) that are presented by RamSan systems as quorum disks. To maintain availability with the clustered system, ensure that each quorum disk resides on a separate disk system. - Copy functions for RamSan systems
The RamSan system does not provide copy, replicate, or SnapShot features. The RamSan system also does not provide thin provisioning.
